Summary
LYRM7 (LYR motif containing 7, HGNC:28072) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q23.3-q31.1, encoding Complex III assembly factor LYRM7 (Q5U5X0). Assembly factor required for Rieske Fe-S protein UQCRFS1 incorporation into the cytochrome b-c1 (CIII) complex.
Inner mitochondrial membrane complex III (CIII) is the main enzyme complex in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and Rieske Fe-S protein (UQCRFS1) is the last catalytic subunit added to the complex. The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial matrix protein that stabilizes UQCRFS1 and chaperones it to the CIII complex. Defects in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear type 8. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Assembly factor required for Rieske Fe-S protein UQCRFS1 incorporation into the cytochrome b-c1 (CIII) complex. Functions as a chaperone, binding to this subunit within the mitochondrial matrix and stabilizing it prior to its translocation and insertion into the late CIII dimeric intermediate within the mitochondrial inner membrane.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with UQCRFS1.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion matrix.
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear type 8 (MC3DN8) [MIM:615838] A form of mitochondrial complex III deficiency, a disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain resulting in a highly variable phenotype depending on which tissues are affected. Clinical features include mitochondrial encephalopathy, psychomotor retardation, ataxia, severe failure to thrive, liver dysfunction, renal tubulopathy, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the complex I LYR family.
